What TLC LIVE users say...

I had the best time ever. I can do fractions now. Oliver German, 10 yrs old

TLC has changed our lives. Both mine and my son’s. School was dreaded: Parents’ evenings a list of things he hadn’t achieved and homework a battle. The TLC team have shown Finn a world where learning is fun and where he’s given the time he needed to ‘grasp the nettle’. He loves his sessions and already his test results have gone up a whole level. Finn Mcculloch – 9 years old

Having had three children attending TLC LIVE over the last couple of years, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. Not only does it provide a fun and interactive programme tailored to meet students’ individual needs, it also gives students the opportunity to learn at their own pace with the support of excellent and very encouraging tutors. I have seen my children gain in confidence, achieve better results at school and above all enjoy their learning as a result of TLC LIVE. Pat Njagi – Parent

Birchwood High School have worked with TLC for seven years and we have nothing but praise for the quality of tuition and the personal customer service.
Whether face-to-face or online our students continue to thrive with the dedicated attention of excellent tutors. Highly recommended for quality intervention. Charles Gilbank – Deputy Head at Birchwood High, Bishop’s Stortford
